Have you watched any of the show, OP? You don't say in the secret....

I never liked any of the 80s kids' adventure stuff either. I dislike most of the tropes and the awful child acting. But I watched Super 8 and loved it, and it's very much a classic 80s Child Actors on Adventures movie. To me, it was just so refreshing because it's not a genre that really exists anymore. I realized there's very few movies nowadays that focus on and star older kids/teens. Most 'family' movies either animated movies or else general audiences action blockbusters.

I think that lack of media in the genre has really helped fuel peoples' nostalgia. Stranger Things is special because there's nothing like it anymore. It's not so much that people loved the Goonies so much, it's that nothing ever came along to usurp the Goonies.

idk I haven't seen the show. It looks cool but I understand getting sick of the nostalgia bombing.

I like Stranger Things but I don't push it on people. If you liked Super 8 (I did too) you might want to give it a try. But I'm not into either one of them out of '80s nostalgia.

I thought the Goonies was incredibly overrated. It was something I might have liked on a TV show on Saturday morning when I was 8.

I think Stranger Things and Super 8 strike the right balance between nostalgia and criticism.
